<p>So Purnell School, Phillips Academy (Andover), and Blair Academy are waiting for my final decision.</p>
<p>My dream school I mean seriously the school I actually dreamed of myself going to was Deerfield Academy :( </p>
<p>but they rejected me. I know DA is more selective but Andover took my late application and even made me feel like they would love to have me there. But I just don't understand why Andover and not Deerfield...</p>
<p>So for this fall I was thinking of attending one of the three schools I mentioned^ and then re-applying to Deerfield next fall.</p>
<p>Deerfield said ultimately it was my SSAT score that resulted in my rejection, although Andover was fine with it. I thought I did twice as good at my DA interview versus my Andover interview, I also sent in videos of me playing a cello concerto and a piano sonata to Deerfield so again I'm just really confused and upset about not getting in.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm wondering which school (Andover, Purnell, Blair) is better for me this fall? I want to do very well so that my grades are up so do you think Blair would have an easier curriculum compared to Andover? or do you think seeing me excel at Andover might make me more appealing to Deerfield for next fall?</p>
<p>And in desperation I have to ask is there ANYTHING I can do that would make deerfield still consider me for this fall?</p>
